Dream Number 15

-

 In the dream, I found myself within the confines of a building, its atmosphere heavy with tension. Outside, the scene was fraught: police officers and embassy staff had arrived, intent on mediating a labor dispute that seemed on the verge of eruption. Suddenly, a wave of urgency surged through the air as a large group of (.   ) migrants forced their way into the premises. The security guards, overwhelmed, slammed the doors shut behind them, barring entry to all others.

As I sought re-entry, desperation clawed at me, but the guards held firm. Then, in the chaos, another door was broken down, its wooden frame splintering under pressure. I followed the throng inside, only to be met with a scene of harrowing conflict. The air crackled with violence as heated arguments escalated into physical altercations. Amid the pandemonium, the crack of gunfire tore through the clamor, freezing time and amplifying the fear that pulsed through the room.

Outside the building, the chaos extended to a nearby football field. On the field, teams of players, dressed in peaceful unity in their yellow shirts, had gathered to play. This tranquil scene shattered when a (.   ) team charged onto the field, turning the game into a battleground. The players, their camaraderie disrupted, faced an onslaught near the (.   )’s office, a space symbolic of stability and authority.

Through the turmoil, a profound yearning arose within me: a prayer for peace. May the hearts of all involved—Burmese and Thai alike—be softened and healed. May understanding replace discord, and may all beings, regardless of their circumstances or origins, be free from suffering.

The Buddha's decision to leave relics (dhatu) after his parinibbana had several important purposes: The Significance of Buddhist Relics and Sacred Sites 1. As Objects of Devotion and Remembrance: The Buddha recognized that physical reminders would help practitioners maintain their faith and practice. In the Mahaparinibbana Sutta (DN 16), the Buddha designated four places worthy of pilgrimage (cattāri saṃvejanīyaṭṭhānāni): "These four places, Ananda, should be seen by the faithful... Which four? - Lumbini, where the Tathagata was born - Bodhgaya, where he attained supreme enlightenment - Sarnath, where he first turned the wheel of Dhamma - Kushinagar, where he attained parinibbana" 2. For Spiritual Development: The relics serve as aids for contemplation and developing mindfulness of the Buddha (buddhānussati). As taught in AN 6.10, recollection of the Buddha leads to joy (pāmojja) and tranquility (passaddhi), supporting deeper practice. The Dhammapada emphasizes the proper...

Dream Number 5: A Message and Alert to the World

A Message and Alert to the World August, 2024 In the silence of sleep, I found myself amidst an unusual scene, vivid and unsettling. A group of very old women, with faces marked by age and wisdom, were sweeping. But these weren’t ordinary sweepers; they pushed broom carts, moving not across floors but beneath carpets that covered the ground. Their movements were deliberate, as if they were uncovering something hidden, ensuring that not a speck of dust remained. It wasn’t just cleaning for cleanliness’ sake — it felt symbolic, a grand preparation. They weren’t sweeping the upper floors; no, this was much deeper. The entire floor was being uncovered, as if revealing what had long been concealed under the guise of normalcy. I stood there, curious but also cautious, watching them perform their task with great care. One of the women, her voice soft but firm, turned to me. "Stay away from this process," she said. "This is not for you." There was a tone of finality in h...
